Hey, it's never a proper Blizzard launch without epic human and tech meltdowns.

I'll let ya'll beta test the live experience for me this week ;p Godspeed, friends.

Other than not being aware there was a spoiler thread (otherwise I would have posted it there instead) I didn't actually break any site rules. Spoiler is marked and linked, it's established what was in the link. I didn't mention what was in the link other than saying it was a big spoiler.



It was like five seconds accidentally, jesus christ I'm fuckign sorry.

iunno man, that full image was on my screen for quite a while, had to mash f5 while averting my eyes away, lol

 

[Tideas]

wait. I don't get it. Ibought it from a US side, but it won't let me play on the European server.

how come?

 

[Sn4ke_911]

All EU down.

haha

i called it.

 

[vehn]

If you group with another person, does the Xp you get from each mob split in half? And with 3 people split by 66%? Wouldn't that mean you'd be pretty underleveled compared to someone that is solo?

 

[UnblessedSoul]

Blizzard you get paid enough money, buy some fucking servers, just a suggestion y'know

 

[zlatko]

How is tesserat not banned yet?

Mods too busy playing Diablo log in screen to care.

 

[Shoogoo]

More like 12 years.

I wasn't waiting for Diablo 3 to release when I started to play Diablo 2

Are you already waiting for Diablo 4? Because that would be fucked up

 

[qazqaNii]

CANT GET IN!"

 

[Realyn]

Got it, fucking got it! CE is beautiful!

It really is. Everything about it feels so gooood.

 

[Desaan]

People think I'm crazy for not buying D3 for launch day, if I wanted to stare at a log in screen for 4 hours I'd boot up my cancelled WoW account.

Enjoy your log in game folks!

 

[reektann]

I look forward to waking up startled tomorrow and screaming "37"

 

[patientx]

Used expatshield I am in ...

Nope , it timed out in character selection screen this time ((

 

[chris-013]

So we got trolled by blizzard the game doesn't exist ?

 

[StoppedInTracks]

So true. I really hate the way games are going.

Yeah the future sucks. DRM up the ass.

 

[Ashodin]

"GRRRRR"

 

[Gowans]

Going by the past will we be playing anytime soon?

 

[Cipherr]

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/status

All EU down.

Ahaha wow, they crushed it. US better show up and do the same

 

[Johnlenham]

Wow, I was going to pick up an NA account code instead of an EU one to get to play sooner (cheaper vs going to buy retail or from blizz) but maybe I should go to give it a good 10+hours to sort itself out..

 

[Kiraly]

Bliiz is getting hammered

Due to high concurrency the login servers are currently at full capacity. This may cause delays in the login process, account pages and web services.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience while this is being resolved.

 

[Xater]

Guys remember the stresstest they did? Yeah that worked out great!

All EU down.

Asia, you had your fun! Now hand your servers to us!

 

[Riggs]

http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/status

All EU down.

Yeah, I was getting error 33 battle.net down for maintenance when I tried to login.

I haven't paid for game yet, and I am in America so I took the error with a grain of salt. Guess it was true at least EU battle net.

 

[Interficium]

It's pretty much a given that the US servers are going to completely shit the bed and die right?

...and then that the max payne servers will die from angry Diablo fans needing something to do?

14 minutes, not bad Europe.

 

[Kiraly]

Lol this is delicious

 

[Ashodin]

What they are doing to the EU servers, the US servers are getting as well, I expect no problems!

 

[pelican]

arghh...

Blizzard....battle.net is fucked!

 

[Aesthet1c]

Some serious meltdowns here. We are 15 min in guys, just give them some time. I'm sure things will smooth out in an hour or two.

 

[Mothman91]

14 minutes, not bad Europe.

US will break that record within minutes!

 

[smr00]

Let's go, EAST COAST.

Should of just gone with regular dew because those slim jims is going to cancel out anything healthy you drink/eat

 

[99%]

I wish I could just fucking install the game without to have to redownload for the 3rd time.

 

[Diprosalic]

my third download is now stuck at 99% but it says it has completed 7.6GB of 7.6B.

 

[LukeSmith]

Thank you my European brothers for falling on the sword so that at midnight PST, America can simply log in and have everything work

 

[reektann]

It sounds like I'm playing track and field here smashing the keys

 

[Tambini]

Why is no one ever able to do such a launch? Is it really so hard to pull off? I guess they they kinda knew before how many people will hammer the servers...

Shocking News

 

[Blair]

FUCK YOU BLIZZARD I'M NOT SITTING HERE ALL NIGHT

blizz pls

 

[Cipherr]

Guys remember the stresstest they did? Yeah that worked out great!

Funny thing is, you KNOW they tried. I mean, I'm sure they absolutely remember WoW's launch and wanted to do better. But goddamn, you just cannot contain that shit. Game has been to long coming, they likely attempted to clearly overestimate for safety, and still underestimated.

 

[HenryHSH]

Dear Blizzard, pretend wow servers are down for maintenance and use that damn hardware for D3's launch.

Blizz must really hate thanking people for their patience... when they usually show that they have none.

*tries login again*
